Securities Trading from Both Sides of my Brain

i suggest that successful trading requires a certain level of two things: cognitive intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ).

We use our cognition to 'plan the trade' and our emotion to 'trade the plan'.

the greater these two skillsets are, and the more in balance they are with each other, the greater the chance of trading success and ultimately trading mastery.
